La Catrina in Champéry, Valais

La Catrina & Swiss Skeli have taken a day trip to Champéry, Valais, about 1.5 hours from Geneva. This belongs to a huge region known as the Port du Soleil (Sun Harbour) which hosts snow sports and has a huge mountain biking AND horseback riding area.

Here is La Catrina before mounting a horse to go on a weekday ride. (They are wearing traditional costumes, which can be interpreted to be expressions of a certain way of, and attitude, towards life. They use to say a lot about social classes, economy, politics, the passage of time and poverty.)

Material

All cards mounted on white 250 g/m² paper with trimmed edges. Vintage postcard, overpainted with acrylic paint, H x B cm, no frame. Signed and dated in pencil on back. This can be easily erased in the event you want to use the card.

The cards are packaged in cellophane with an informative text about the history of the image on each card and when it was first published.

Please note that since these are antique postcards, some might contain small tears, pinholes and/or scratches. Fleshy tries her best to lovingly craft each card, but sometimes a tear might be too close to the overall subject to cut it out. The actual colors might differ slightly from your monitor.

Every postcard is a small, unique work of art!

Delivery throughout Europe and overseas is with normal postal mail in cardboard envelopes so nothing should bend. Postage and packaging are calculated at checkout.
